Hope Valley: A Golf Community in the Suburbs of Durham

Hope Valley was the first full-fledged country club community in the suburbs of Durham. Built in the mid-1920s just before the stock market crash of 1929, Hope Valley remained a rural community until after WWII. Situated almost equidistant between Durham and Chapel Hill, Hope Valley was one of North Carolina's first suburbs designed to be completely serviced by the automobile. The neighborhood is often referred to as "Old Hope Valley," due to a relative absence of newly constructed homes in the community. The estates in Old Hope Valley are equally charming and impressive; and the Colonial and Tudor Revival architectural masterpieces are situated on generous, manicured lots.

Today, the area surrounding Hope Valley is a thriving suburban community, and residents of the Hope Valley Historic District enjoy convenient a peaceful retreat with access to all of the big-city amenities of nearby Triangle Cities.

The Beauty of Living in a Country Club Community

Even those who aren't avid golfers will appreciate the stunning landscape of the picturesque golf course. Built around an 18-hole Donald Ross course, Hope Valley is rich in natural beauty, luscious green areas and woodland. Residents can often catch a glimpse of wildlife such as deer, foxes, red shouldered hawks, and bard owls. It truly is a sight to see.

The Hope Valley Country Club is known for having a member of the Crichton family on staff, from the opening of the club to even today. The club has an active year-round tennis program with seven clay courts and two hard courts, and a recently renovated swimming pool.
